The New Mom Excuse: What's It's Shelf Life?
Comments (1)March 14, 2010
Baby Slings and Baby Screams
I’m not sure about you, but I could barely get my son dressed in his onesie, let alone figure out how to insert him into a baby sling. He was far too squirmy…and colicky…and never slept. As much as I yearned to be one of those mothers who carried their sleeping baby around with a sling, nestled in close to their chest, it looks like my son’s lack of cooperation may have been his saving grace...

Night Terrors
I think I bragged a little too much about our incredible sleeping baby. Adelyn spent the last week sleeping in consistent six, sometimes seven and a half hour stretches, and I let this fact be known. To everyone. People who asked and people who could care less...

Could Your Child Be Abusing Inhalants?
A recent report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration shows that 12-year-olds are now using inhalants more than cocaine, hallucinogens, and marijunan combined. The reason? Availability. Common household products from air fresheners to shoe polish can be huffed for a short-lived but intense high. And the biggest problems is that only one use can cause death...

A Reluctant Charlotte
It's hard to go back and really think about how upset I was when I first found out I was pregnant, now that she's here, now that I love her so much. But I'm reminded every now and then of those first two weeks. Those terrifying weeks when my whole world was turned upside down. I didn't know what was going to happen with my life, my routine, my self. I didn't know if my health was going to hold up long enough to get a baby out or if it was going to hold up after he or she was here. I walked around those weeks like someone had just threatened my life.

Breaking the Rules
So this morning I arrived to work thinking that I have on very cute and coordinated outfit. I have on a red, brown, and white dress over a brown slip, brown knee boots, and little white cardigan with pearls to top it off. Cute, right? Well, in theory, yes. Until I got to work and realized that I do not have on brown tights, but black ones. Yes, BLACK ones. Nice...

Running Sucks
I signed up for a half marathon a few months ago, back when I fell in love with running and thought it was my new BFF.
Back-to-back blizzards, debilitating anxiety and a surprising bout of ugly depression sidelined the daily runs for a spell.
But I put the jogging shoes back on my feet this past weekend and officially started the three-month training regimen.
Turns out: I hate running just as much as I thought I did lo those many years ago...
